Millions of tons of garbage that go into our landfills every year could be recycled instead of thrown out. Recycling goes much farther than just paper, plastic, glass, and aluminum. Today, there are recycling options for almost everything. Food scraps can be composted in backyard compost bins to create free plant fertilizer. Old computers, batteries, cell phones, and other electronics can all be recycled. A simple internet search will also reveal companies and locations where you can recycle a whole host of other products, everything from Christmas lights to printer ink cartridges and old, worn out clothing.
